Slammed in my car door last night. It really hurts. The whole top of my finger is swollen, red, and sensitive, after 24 hours. Is there any way expedite the healing?

If you poke a hole through your nail and drain the fluid underneath it'll feel loads better. You can do this by heating the pointy end of a safety pin until it's red hot then touching it to the bruised area of the nail. don't push too hard on the pin, and you'll know when your through because all of the fluid will come out through the hole. good luck
I never would have thought of this but I just did it.
I ended up getting a couple of holes open. Some blood did come out but it came out in little droplets, it wasn't a whole lot. It does feel better though, thank you.
